| | The '''Backstreet Boys''' ('''BSB'''<ref>http://kids.pbs.org:8080/arthur/backstreet/chat/index.html</ref>) are a band. Their members are [[Nick Carter]], [[Howie D.]], [[A.J.]], [[Brian]], and [[Kevin]]. |
|
| |
|
| In the early nineties Howie, AJ and Nick were performing as an amateur trio in Orlando, Florida. They were joined by cousins Kevin and Brian.
| | According to [[Buster]], the Backstreet Boys started their career when "they answered an ad". They are based in [[Florida]]. |
|
| |
|
| In 1992 record producer Lou Perlman placed an ad in an Orlando newspaper that he wanted to form a vocal group. Hundreds of singers auditioned and eventually all five friends were chosen and named Backstreet Boys after Orlando’s Backstreet Market.
| | The Backstreet Boys had a live concert at the [[Elwood City Arena]]. They played alongside [[U Stink]]. |
|
| |
|
| The group turned professional in 1993 and released their first single in 1995. They were immediately successful in Europe, but largely ignored at home.
| | [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]]'s favorite Backstreet Boy was Nick, then Howie, and then A.J.<ref>"[[Bitzi's Break-Up]]"</ref> |
|
| |
|
| In 1998 they had their first chart successes in the United States. In 1999 they released their third album “{{w|Millennium (Backstreet Boys album)|Millenium}}”, which included the hit single “{{W|I Want It That Way}}" and made them worldwide superstars. Their 2000 album “{{W|Black & Blue (Backstreet_Boys_album)|Black & Blue}}” was equally successful.
| |
|
| |
| Between 2002 and 2004 the band did not record or perform, but they reunited in 2004 and have been performing and releasing continuously since then. Between 2006 and 2012 Kevin temporarily left the group.
| |
|
| |
| In 2019 they released the album “{{W|DNA (Backstreet Boys album)|DNA}}” which topped the Billboard charts again.

| |
| The Backstreet Boys appeared as themselves in the second Arthur special ''[[Arthur - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll|Arthur-It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll]]'' in 2002. They are seen in a cartoon version of their music video to “[[I Want it That Way|I Want It That Way]]”, featuring [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]]. They also appear in Muffy’s fantasies where they perform the song “[[Manager of My Dreams]]”. They give a concert in Elwood City and perform “[[Nothing But the Music]]” with [[U Stink]].
| |
|
| |
| As the end credits roll, the Backstreet Boys perform the Arthur theme song “[[Believe in Yourself]]”.
| |
|
| |
| The DVD includes a ca. 6 minute documentary about turning the Backstreet Boys into animals and recording their voices.
| |
| === Relationships to Other Characters ===
| |
| [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] is a dedicated fan who is originally in love with Nick Carter, but is disappointed by Nick’s lack of business acumen in ''[[Arthur - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll|Arthur-It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll]], ''causing her to switch to Howie. In ''[[Bitzi's Break-up|Bitzi’s Break-Up]]'' she mentions that she now fancies AJ.
| |
|
| |
| [[Fern Walters|Fern]] and [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]] also reveal themselves to be fans, and most major characters attend the Backstreet Boys concert which is sponsored by [[Ed Crosswire]].
